Today, I took a two-hour bus ride to get to orientation, got stuck a block away because the pedestrian sidewalk was closed, waited half-an-hour for my ride in the rain, when someone called the cops on me for acting suspicious. I got to the interview soaking wet, and they told me they'd rescheduled. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had a job interview. I was almost late due to road closure and being blocked in my street by the trash truck. The "interview" turned out to be a hiring fair, with lots of other people. I had to wait outside for 3 hours in the sun with no shade, water or food. I didn't get the job. FML
Today, I stood for half an hour in the rain waiting for my bus. As I started to go inside, my bus turned around the corner and splashed water all over me. The bus driver wouldn't let me on the bus because I was soaking wet and I would "mess up the seats". FML
Today, I had a job interview. I got there as quick as I could, having to travel two hours into a city I'd never been to. When I arrived, they told me I was turned down for being too late. They'd rescheduled the interview an hour earlier and I wasn't notified of the change. FML
Today, wanting to be on time for my first job interview, I woke up at the crack of dawn and walked almost an hour through a thunderstorm. When I arrived, I was told that the manager wasn't in today, because of the bad weather. FML
Today, I had an interview scheduled for 10:05. When I got there, someone was talking to them, so I sat down to wait. Little did I know this wait would be 45 minutes. I got told to go home and that I'd be rescheduled. FML
Today, I was late for a job interview so I got a taxi to get there. Then the driver got lost and ended up taking me to the wrong address. By the time I got to the right location, I was 20 minutes late and had sweat stains on my shirt. To make matters worse, the interviewer was my ex who I had a messy breakup with. FML
Today, I had a job interview today after being unemployed for months. I left early but a stranger's giant SUV had me blocked in for over two hours. I called to explain the situation in the hope that I would be given another interview slot later in the week. I was told I clearly didn’t want the job. FML
Today, I drove two and a half hours to a job interview. The interviewer never showed up or called. I sat in the hotel lobby waiting for an hour and a half. Even the hotel staff said they felt sorry for me. FML
Today, I woke up early for a job interview. I got lost and arrived an hour late, only to find out it was the wrong day. FML
Today, I was under a building overhang to avoid getting drenched by the rain while waiting for the bus. Apparently that corner is notorious for drug dealing, I found this out when a man angrily demanded his drugs and chased me half a block. FML

Damn OP that's like getting knocked down, then getting kicked while you're down, then that kick knocks you down further, then you get kicked while you're down-er.

Is it weird that I thought of this as a movie montage with 'Cause you had a bad day You're taking one down You sing a sad song just to turn it around' playing.

Yeah, I hate it when I watch **** and cause the one stretch of footpath I really need to use to be closed. Yep, happens all the time. The things we endure just to bash one out, eh?

"Soaking wet" I thought I was being clever, turns out I was just too tired to come up with something good.

Sorry we rescheduled that joke sir.

I suppose that was in bad taste. I'm sorry, FML community. Please forgive me, for I have sinned through bad jokes. That was probably in bad taste, too.

At least you will be getting another chance.

Honestly, why would someone call the police because someone is acting "suspicious" especially if the person is just standing there.

You could have asked the police to give you a lift, they might have helped you! and i hope you get through to the interview!

It's like we live in a world where email or phones don't exist. Sucks big time OP.

I have to wonder why they didn't think to call you and tell you ahead of time that they changed the time of the interview. That's just poor communication on their part.
